Does this graffiti look real?

[Floppy Joe]

The first image looks real, the one with more colour doesn't look as good..

Just my opinion, but I would go with the first image

1st image definitely looks more real, the 2nd is too coloured and should be faded more. Try to make it look more dirtier or something

I still stand by the fact a graffiti artist would not do anything so uneven.

Ok in terms of the 2 images, the 1st one is definitely more 'Real'

In terms of naturalism; I'm hinting towards agreeing with Spruce, Graffiti artists wouldn't graffiti on a wall like that, unless they just scribbled some feeble, unartistic words like: "Fugly" (not that they would use that word mind you).

Anyway, if this is for an art project, I think the first one will do, did a pretty good job of it, maybe yes make it look more grungy (if not the graffiti, then the wall, it could do with a mud-fight, looks a little pressure washed to me, but that's personal preference).

Alternatively, (Beware, longer process), open the image without the graffiti and clone-stamp, or spot heal the wall into a flat surface, dirty it up and then add the graffiti like in the first image, that's really all I can imagine you need to do to make it REAL before you go straight to real², in which case....you'd have landed yourself in a whole different dimension.

So good job, first image is a go! With minor improvements, it's as perfect as they get.
